Josh Kriger:
Hi, everyone. This is Josh Kriger live in New York at NFT New York with a special episode of Edge of NFT. And I was speaking today with the team behind Wrld Chngrs, including Alejandro Reyes Knight, the CEO of Nifty Arc and one of the original ins inspirations behind the project. So we're excited about this special sponsored episode. I'll talk a little bit about the crew we have in front of us today. Alejandro has over 20 years of creative direction, art, film, music, NFTs, and AR and, someone I've known, for quite a long time, you know, because of his institution, Winston House, that he cofounded. And he's also contributed to the fields of advertising, educational consulting, and videography beyond web 3, including working with folks like Damien Hirst, Paul McCarthy, Jake Bugg, Paul Kelley, Black Sabbath, and Pink to just name a few of the iconic folks that have been, in his orbit over the last, several decades. We also have Diana.
Josh Kriger:
Is Boston based like myself. What's up? Who specializes in web design and product management. Now making her mark in the NFT art world with a keen eye towards design and strategic approach to digital projects, she seamlessly blends traditional aesthetics and digital innovation. So we'll talk about that as well. And, for those of you that listening, Diana is rocking an incredible superhero outfit, which you'll see is is one of our major themes of today's conversation. Last but not least, we have Atown, who has 12 years of product management experience in ecommerce, digital advertising, entertainment, and as well as media data science. And for the last 3 years, he's been running a web 3 development agency called Mediseed Labs that has worked with clients like Chris Brown, Lyrico Lemonade, AI, and recently joined the team at the foundation, as a senior product manager. So for those that haven't heard yet about Wrld Chngrs, you're gonna hear all about it today.
Josh Kriger:
This is a unique NFT universe where players control heroes of various classes and body AI, each uniquely NFT. And the innovative AI technology ensures that each hero is one of a kind with a user's journey directly influencing their hero's development and the impact that they make in the game and symbolically in the real world. You know, I AI was a big fan of heroes to show, so, I I feel like we all need heroes in our life and especially at this current moment. So really important topic that we should dive into and, great to have you all on the show. Thanks for having us. So, Alain, let's start with with you, Janney. In in like all your perspectives, like, we're here on the ground in New York. Things are definitely different than a year ago and the year before that.
Josh Kriger:
It feels like there's some degree of acceptance that the speculation component NFT the market is gone. Like, we've all come to terms with that. And and there's this idea of real building, but I'm not sure if we all understand what that means and what the implications are. What's your thoughts being here on the ground so far? And you guys have been here for over a week. I just got here a couple days ago.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. It's been great. It's been good. Been, I'm based in Venice Beach, California. I've been in New York for just about a week now and been at the conference and around here for a few days. And it's just been interesting just to walk around here, what you listen as you're walking past people, digit you know, technology, collectibles, phigitals, you know, ownership, rights, all those things. And, so I'm just really listening, learning constantly, and, seeing who's around as well.
Josh Kriger:
And what's the sentiment?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
But, yeah, I think it's a whole new new space. It feels like, you know, tides come, and that's some
Josh Kriger:
It's like a restart.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
It's a restart. Yeah.
Josh Kriger:
Yeah. You you had some thoughts there?
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Yeah. I mean, I've been in the NFT space now for for 3 years, and, you know, the first wave that I was part of, it definitely felt just very degenerate, like, you know, make a quick buck type energy. And now that I think a lot of the people that are still here survived one bear cycle, that really shook out the grifters. And now I think the people that are here are really here to to build and, like, build on the technology.
Josh Kriger:
So how do you how do you reconcile that with
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
all this meme coin stuff going on? Meme coins is another energy. I think it's building, building a fresh energy. You know, it's giving people, like, another tool that they can use to experiment on the blockchain. It is definitely still, like, that quick buck energy. But I do think meme coins gives people a way to, like, earn liquidity that they can now turn around and invest in art and invest in projects that are actually building things that they care about. So in one way, like, sourcing new liquidity for the market is still a good thing because now people who make a bunch of money on a meme coin can go bid on their favorite Carthon one of 1. So it does, you know, lift up the tide for everyone.
Josh Kriger:
For sure. And, Diana, any other thoughts? I mean, this is a newer space for you. What what are you feeling here on the ground?
Dyana Butler :
Yeah. It's kind of what Sayid said. You know, we've we're talking a lot about meme coins and pump and dumps and whether that's a good thing or bad thing, and it's both a good thing and a bad thing because now your average Josh can make a bunch of money on these meme coins and go and support the people that actually matter and the actual creators that are doing the work here. Right on. Well,
Josh Kriger:
let's let's spend the most of this show really unpacking Wrld Chngrs. Alejandro, you you you you're always sort of in a creative headspace. Every time I've ever talked to you and and NFT, we've always sort of talked about the the nature of of web 3 and technology and music and how it's intersecting. And this seems like this project is coming, like, deep deep within you from, like, reflecting on on what's happened in the space. Tell us a little bit about that inspiration in in in how this kind of came to be.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Thanks. Definitely. AI right. AI I started making NFTs in 2021, and I was just making them to get art out of me, instead of just filming and, you know, creating music videos and stuff. And it was such a release, and I was observing everything that was going on. I'm a documentary maker, so I was naturally just hearing, listening to all the projects and, you know, all the technology and all the characters in the space. And I got to do I got invited to do a project for John Lennon and Julian Lennon and Paul McCartney Wow.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Which was amazing. It was, like, for charity for the White Feather Foundation, and that was 6 NFTs that raised, like, $180,000. That went to the charity. But I AI as kind of a conduit between that kind of world of IP and Beals AI of fans and NFT world, which are 2 different worlds. And so that was a great learning curve for me of how to translate the same words, but people would mean different things, and it was a success. So from that, I was asked invited, to create, you know, to create with direct, this project. It is about superheroes and social world impact, and I was of gonna figure it out over the course of a year and a half, 2 years. So we've been on that journey.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
And yeah. So superheroes, some AI technology, so it's customizable.
Josh Kriger:
So so the where did this idea for superheroes and AI come come from?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. The AI was added much later, guess NFT all the lens of AI of thing was happening last year. Yeah. But but the fundamental concept of superheroes, where did that come from? Fundamental concept of superheroes comes from change and everyone's internal ability. We constantly have to evolve AI this space, like everything. You don't evolve. You you don't carry on, And that is a motif that everyone relates to as a kid. You're superheroes and, making the best of yourself.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
So that has been we've created hand drawn art, because they wanted with the ability to be generative later.
Josh Kriger:
Yeah. Yeah. I can I can I really relate to that? And, yeah, someone just texted me this morning about sort of the need in in times like this for this abundance, mentality. And and, you know, I think there's a relationship there with with superheroes in the sense that, like, you know, how do you keep that positive energy in in in your AI. Right? Like AI, you you have a coach. You have a mentor. You have a hero that's, like, picking you up. Right? Is is that some of it?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Everyone goes through things, and there's something that hap that happened to you in order for you to grow. So it's kind of things don't happen at us. Things happen for us. And if we can get in that mindset, get more out of life so as to really embrace things that happen and make it to change.
Josh Kriger:
Cool. So you came on as creative director, and then you put together a a pretty cool team. I know some folks that you just met for the first time, last few weeks in New York, which is which is sort of not atypical in 1 3. You know, Jeff, Eathan, and I, we were doing a podcast together. We didn't actually meet in person for, like, 6 months. I think it was actually at NFT New York that we NFT first time. So I I I could reminisce with that experience. How did the team come come together? Yeah.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
You did Josh so AI. And that's I've built teams before for music videos, films, and then at Winston House, building community. And it's a kind of vibe to see how people communicate and their frequency and energy. And, my friend Pete, who works at who's working at Crossman, introduced us to AI here at Meta Sea Labs, and it was it was great. I'd seen what they've done on the range of projects they've done, and I thought it would be a great, mix and blend. So, yeah, it's been great. And then the rest of the team? Yeah. And so with artist Blue, I met him in Venice.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
It was a clubhouse Nice. Meeting, and someone said, you AI, we meet on. So we dived for a quick coffee in Venice, and he was flying off to New Zealand. And then that's been 2 years now of hand drawn art of communicating in different time zones. Wow. And NFT Diana as Kelley. A friend, David, who's starting AI, the founder of that. My NFT works on that.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
He's a dev on that project. And then so there's another AI, and, it's been amazing UX AI and problem solving and just being, like, really ambassador and embodying the project as well, AI you can see.
Josh Kriger:
Very cool. Well, I'd love to sort of dive into some of the unique elements of the project. You know, maybe what makes it a little bit different than some of the other projects that have happened in the space and all this meme coin stuff. Right? So so what what are some of the more serious aspects of the project that you're focused on?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. It feels all serious, but with a fun, like, you know, superheroes. But it's, the underlying so, you know, the underlying part, which is self journey as well, is this ability for journaling. So you've got the characters that can be customized as a hero builder, so there's a lovely experience there. But then underneath the characters, there's a box where you once a day, you can write a journal entry post, and it's something I found incredibly helpful in life.
Josh Kriger:
So when you say you write that, is that, you know, online? Or or Yeah. It's it's underneath your hero, and so there's a record of it, and you can have one postPermanent, like, record on the blockchain. Yeah. Very cool.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. And so I think doing that some there's something consistently like that that's not in a journal that's hidden on, you know, in a drawer.
Josh Kriger:
It it's public for for everyone to see. So Yeah.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
And it's not like Instagram or Twitter or something of is AI a post where you have to come up with a dog or a coffee or, you know, life thing. It's It's something thoughtful that when you look back on it even a week prior, you're like, well, I was thinking that. And then with community being able to look at it, your your character will be built that way. We're not creating a law that's just meaningless. It's kind of it could be really creative, but it's just AI you're gonna create your meaning to
Josh Kriger:
your How does that process with cocreation work?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Well, I think just Kelley, you'll grow. We have journal prompts. We're working with a journal company, Quantum Journal, with NFT. And these journals, the prompts open you up to sort of think, in amazing positive ways.
Josh Kriger:
Nice. Yeah. Maybe that's, like, the the the last thing I need to kinda get over the hump of journaling because I've thought about it for a long time. Right? And and and AI I I was, yeah. It makes sense. I should do this. Like, I I know are you like there's studies about the positive benefits of of journaling. Yeah.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. And I've been doing it. Past 3 months in particular, I do it constantly. AI, like, I would write, I'm going over to the kettle to make a cup of tea, and then I'll make it and come back and say it went really well. I mean, I've managed to slow time down. It sounds crazy, but it's been amazingly useful. And, and so having that visible for the rest of the community to see, things like that, it just opens up another level of kind of intimacy and intelligence that I think then people will cocreate together because I've seen that happen constantly.
Josh Kriger:
Cool. Are there any other features of of the project that you all wanna touch on?
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Yeah. What I love about this project is it's really, like, merging a lot of unique technologies together. So they're leveraging web 2 technologies. They're leveraging web 3 blockchain Like like, what? And AI. The cool thing about this project is, like, Web 3 is all about identity and building your you know, finding a a an avatar that meets you. But a lot of times, it's hard to, like, go find traits that match. With this one, we're building a full blown character builder, so you get to actually, like, pick what your character looks like, build an avatar that resonates with you, or that resonates with the representation of who you wanna be, like, in the context of being a hero. So that's the first step.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
And then we're including, an integration with, like, a stable diffusion model. So you can actually take selfies of yourself and then merge that with the character that you've built to get an output that actually reflects how you look aesthetically on top of the hero that you've built.
Josh Kriger:
Oh, wow. That sounds like some pretty new technology that probably, like, you didn't have a chance to sort of implement even, like, a year ago in the world of web 3.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Yeah. Like, the the ability to, like, self-service building your own, training your own stable diffusion model, and hosting it is definitely, like, new to the space. And being able to marry that with, like, a smart contract is is very, you know, very high-tech, and I'm glad that we could be brought in to help put that together because now we can let you build a character, NFT a token, associate the token to the art. Now you can work with the diffusion model to get a new output and reassociate the token to the art. So your tokens, artwork, and metadata is dynamic here, and it's constantly updating. And in the future, we can work with the team to do all kinds of cool kind of morphing and evolution of your character.
Josh Kriger:
Yeah. I mean, the obvious thing AI I'm sure you guys have thought about that comes to mind for me is is sort of the ability with, like, Sora to start to create, like, movies with your characters. And, like, then what happens is, like, my hero and your hero and your hero are are suddenly in a movie scene together.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Yeah. You could have a spin off series. You could have your character could have its own social feed, its own, you know, content creation, its own brand even. So it could go could go a 1000000 different ways.
Josh Kriger:
Wow. That's it's very interesting to start to think about all that. Is there anything else technically that you found, like, challenging in in in a fun way around this project?
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
I think just the the AI is probably the newest thing that I've kind of been dealing with. I'm I'm an adviser to an AI, like, creation platform, so I had a little bit of context there. But being able to take existing work and use, like, stable diffusion and control NFT and computer vision, all these, like, new machine learning technologies to, like, morph your art in an automatic scalable way is pretty innovative in my opinion, and I think people will AI will will like seeing how we how we, execute on that.
Josh Kriger:
Well, Diana, from a user experience perspective, I feel like that's also an area that's really evolved very quickly. What are some of the newer sort of UX strategies that you sort of, integrated into your your approach to the UX design?
Dyana Butler :
Yeah. My my main goal is being able to translate my designs as best as I can to the developer. And we've done a really good job at that, I think. In terms of the design itself, we wanted something completely different, really new. So we're integrating this almost old style AI of Myspace vibe to it with a comic book style. And where the Myspace vibe comes in is you have a dashboard and you're going to have your vault where your heroes are going to live. Then you're going to have your links, kind of like a link tree. You can post some links to your other social medias.
Dyana Butler :
So if you want to link your link, you know, change your link tree too, will change your slash your links and your dashboard. That's more traffic to the website. And then you have your journal entries, which that's where you'll be able to see. And farther on along, we want to implement frequencies. So, you can have frequencies play on your dashboard and there'll be a frequency playing while you're hero building as well. So, it kind of brings that personification into the app itself. And that's where the uniqueness comes from it. And I'm just really excited to be able to see what it where it all comes to and how people are
Josh Kriger:
gonna use it. It's it's the moment of truth. Right? Like, all that work comes out and and, you know, what will the world think about it? Well, I'm excited too. Is there anything else on the road map? Sorry. It's that moment of truth where, you know, you've worked all this so much time and NFT, and now now what does the world think about it? Alejandro, anything on the road map that you wanted to touch on that maybe we didn't cover yet?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Thanks. I think it's, yeah, world impact. And I think we you know, how we sell or one on one communication has been really good, in explaining the project. There's a few touch touch points to it, but people have you know, I was at a blockchain conference in LA last week and speaking to people, and their eyes kinda light up with different parts of it, you know, the technology, the art, hand drawn art, the AI part, journaling, and then the sort of social impact, world impact, element that you know, it's gonna be things with roots stay longer, and I think that's something I'm really interested in. So it's not just trying to blast it out and Jeff. You know? It's it's people we want people to use it and get a real ben enjoy it and get a benefit from it, and that's the sort of value that'll be locked and then unlocked within it. Cool.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
So where can people go to sort of learn more about the project?
Dyana Butler :
You can go to WrldChngrs.i0. That's our holding page for now. You can submit your email. If you submit your email, you get a cool PDF with some comic books, some comic style PNGs, and you'll also get more information and be the first to get notified of the actual drop. And we don't have a a official date yet for the drop?
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Possibly May 1st. So we've got a month from sort of now Josh to implement all the things we've learned, feedback, and build in public, and there's NFT a few changes because of latest technologies and things we're learning right now, which is great. That's why we're here.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Cool. Sayid, anything else to add in terms of, you know, this project, what you're excited about come come AI ahead now? Nothing specific, but I I think Ale has put together a great team, and he's kind of got an eye for, like, what is new and cool. And I think that we're just happy to be part of the journey so that when he gets inspired and has an idea or sees someone executing on something cool or a a new technology pops up that we can be there to help bring his vision to life.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Very cool. One, yeah, one more thing. We know we're all part of other communities as well. You know? Some really great community right through the space, and so it's great seeing them all here, seeing what they're doing. And then, you know, they're coming in and out, and we'll support them as well.
Josh Kriger:
Very cool. So, before we close out, I wanna do a mini version of, a segment that we have on the show that I think would be a lot of fun with this group called Edge Quick Hitters. AI of you that may not have, it's a fun, quick way to get to know you better. And there's gonna be a couple questions looking for a short single word or a few word response, but feel free to expand on the answer. So, since there's so many of you, it'll just be a mini version. The first questions, what's the first thing you remember purchasing in your life?
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
Candy.
Josh Kriger:
Okay.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
It was a bottle of Coca Cola.
Josh Kriger:
Nice.
Dyana Butler :
The first thing that comes to mind is not purchasing, but when I was around 5 years old, back when block Blockbuster was a thing you remember Blockbuster? I I stole a big family AI crunch bar, and I feel so guilty about it to this day.
Josh Kriger:
Alright. So, maybe there's I'm
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
a comic. I was Josh remembered it was that comic as well. Same AI.
Josh Kriger:
I think, maybe there's something you can do around your hero to, like, you know or journaling to to get over that, finally. So second question is, what's the first thing you sold in your life? Let's start with you, Diana.
Dyana Butler :
Oh, the first thing I sold in my life. Well, I feel like I've I've been a criminal all my teenage and young adult life, but I used to trace images from coloring books and sell them for a quarter in 5th grade, and it worked. That was the first thing I've ever sold. So another thing I'll journal.
Josh Kriger:
That was and, Alejandro, you're NFT.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Similar. Ghostbusters. I used to draw the Ghostbusters logo at school for, like, 50p or NFT, I can't remember. Yeah. I used to kids. I love that movie.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
The reason AI wanted to grab the mic from her was because that's I have a very similar one too. I used to trace the Jinko logo, and I was selling that to kids in my class in 5th grade.
Josh Kriger:
This is wild, guys. 33, like, tracers. AI I'll sign other people's art. NFT we're win free. That's why we like to ask that question. Change you. We're AI
Dyana Butler :
to change ourselves.
Josh Kriger:
So, normally, this is Richard, but, you know, I I will ask the bonus question in this case, which is, you know, what was your favorite superhero, growing up that in inspired you either in real life or or someone, you know, in the entertainment genre?
Dyana Butler :
Well, my my name is Diana, and Wonder Woman's name is Diana. And I love Wonder Woman. And a lot of people think I am Wonder Woman, which is a good guess, but I'm Wrld Chngrs. Yeah. That's that's the only thing I can think of.
Josh Kriger:
Alright. She was pretty badass.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
Yeah. Yeah. I just made a connection, though, about Stevie Wonder. His name is Wonder, but, yes, Stevie Wonder is a kid. I used to love loads of artists, but Stevie Wonder was because of his NFT, and he's a superhero. I mean, his music's incredible, and I play piano and
Josh Kriger:
Undoubtedly a superhero.
Alejandro Reyes-Knight:
He's a superhero. Yeah. Steve.
Sayeed Mehrjerdian:
I'm a big Spider Janney guy. I love him because he didn't start or wasn't born as a superhero. He kinda just fell into it one day, so he was a very relatable character, you know, like, being a kid growing up.
Josh Kriger:
Yeah. Alright. I'll I'm gonna, date myself, and you guys can judge me, but my answer will be Hulk Hogan. I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan. I went to all those wrestling matches. Like, you know, there's something about, like, his energy and, you know, he always he always found a way to win. At the end of the day and I I think that's that grit. So I would, like, you know, wrestle and, like, it'd be a really long match, but ultimately, I would win like Hulk Hogan.
Josh Kriger:
So that's my answer. There you have it for another fun episode of Edge of NFT. Thanks for sharing this time with us, today, and, shout us out on on Twitter, YouTube, subscribe on on any of our mini platforms. Thanks for joining us today, guys.
